Sorry if it's a dumb question, never tried it, can you daisy-chain like this: external hard drive connected to laptop via eSata port, and then camera connected to external hard drive via firewire? Can Vegas capture like that?
My HP laptop has a lousy firewire port (which I've whined about to no end or avail
here and
here). Can't capture video with it.
Just wondering if I connected the laptop to something like a LaCie d2 Quadra hard drive via my eSata port, and connected my HV20 camera to the LaCie via firewire, would that work?
